For anyone that enjoyed this, I'd recommend seeking out A Photograph. I wouldn't want to say too much about it except that it's another Play for Today written by John Bowen and something of a companion piece to this film.

Lynne Miller as Nicola made this worthwhile and her performance at the disco was extraordinary. I have to say, a lot like the local residents in the play, I was completely uninterested in Clare and Ralph's relationship.

If we are to take some of the character's feelings as representing the filmmaker's view, there were some attitudes that came through this film that I couldn't go along with. Although as a satire it avoids overtly stating anything and so invokes the shield of plausible deniability.

They are as follows:

- Theatre is better and more worthy than film. I find the theatre to be a great workshop for actors but the results have never impressed me as much…

Much like Blade Runner 2049 I didn't like the intellectual weight heaped upon this re-imagining of a genre favourite. Whilst both are tasteful and accomplished their own way, there is something distant and analytical about how the films are presented. It's as though the originals were put in a blender along with all the film/media studies essays that have been written about them in the intervening years.
